Our Veterans Report on MiraCosta College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 693 GI Bill® students at MiraCosta College. Because the school enrolls 10,474, about 6.6% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater. Veterans make up 1.0% of the student body at MiraCosta College, per U.S. Department of Education data.
